Because several articles have stacked up and I don’t want to make these in to separate posts, here’s a quick round up:
** Henry VIII talks from the Historic Royal Palaces (podcasts)
** Mary Rose 500 – a final fundraising appeal from the Mary Rose Trust and info on how you can “join the crew” by helping to raise money for the new museum
** From The Surrey Comet:
Elmbridge Museum holds exhibition on Oatlands Palace
Elmbridge Museum is holding an exhibition starting next month on the now destroyed Oatlands Palace in Weybridge.
The museum, which is based in Church Street, Weybridge, is holding the exhibition called Oatlands Underfoot: Stones and Stories from a Forgotten Palace, which will attempt to bring to life one of Henry VIII
Hmmmm….that “join the crew” pitch for the Mary Rose restoration sounds far to close to “part of the crew, part of the ship” from Pirates of the Caribbean for comfort.
